From 2012, feeds for organically farmed pigs must consist of 100% organic ingredients. Pea protein concentrate and rapeseed protein concentrate may be attractive high-protein ingredients for piglet feeds. This is the conclusion from research by Wageningen UR Livestock Research into the digestibility and nutritional value of a number of high-protein ingredients for organically farmed weaned piglets.

The reduction of protein levels from weaning till slaughter, in keeping with the current French recommendations to reduce pollution (CORPEN, 2003), was evaluated in a feeding trial.

Objective: To investigate the effects of dietary net energy (NE) content on the performance of growing pigs fed low-protein diets supplemented with crystalline amino acids.

Nursery pigs can tolerate up to 27.5% of CP without affecting performance.

The successful performance in high lean pigs is strongly related with an accurate crude protein and AA balance.

Microbial deamination does not affect valine availability in growing pigs.

Forty piglets (average body weight = 5.32 kg) were used to investigate the effect of dietary crude protein (CP) content on immunological responses following a challenge with enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) K88.

Although having a suitable mineral and AA content for swine nutrition, the use of aquatic plants in pig diets is limited by their low energy and crude protein digestibility.

This paper describes a new model to estimate NH3 emissions from the swine sector, relying heavily on a recent survey of swine producers to determine the present N and manure management practices.

Body amino acid composition is affected by dietary amino acid supplementation.

Selenoprotein gene expression may not be a useful tool to assess body selenium status in pigs

Particle size after grinding may be a critic factor for lupin AA digestibility in growing pigs

Distillers dried grains from sorghum or sorghum-corn blend showed the same SID for CP and Lys but lower for the rest of AA than those obtained from corn

Dietary crude protein in finishing diets may be reduced until 12% without affecting pig performance and carcass yield

Fe and Zn supplementation of pig diets may stimulate growth performance in young animals

The use of an exogenous microbial phytase in growing diets may improve P digestibility and bioavailability
